Guardian Bookshop Notes:

Coincides with the Venice Biennale 2009, an unconventional guide to Venice. Recounting the customs and secrets that only Venetians know, Scarpa guides the reader around the best of the city without naming a single restaurant, hotel or bar, instead relating everything you need to know to experience the real Venice.

Publisher's description:

Built on an inverted forest, paved with a tortoiseshell of boulders, Venice is a maze of tiny alleys, bridges and squares. This book recounts the customs and secrets that only Venetians know. It contains things from practical advice for aspiring Venetian lovers to hints at where to find the best bacaro.
